The Unity Plague (30-34)
Souvenir
Sample of the Unity cure
You've kept this small, intelligent sample of the Unity cure as a potent reminder of the time you stopped:
The Unity Plague
It all began when you saved Dr. Victor Ido and his team of researchers from a Devouring Earth attack. You learned that the good doctor had been studying the process that transforms humans into Devouring Earth creatures, and he had made some alarming discoveries. He had isolated a biological contaminant that was present in both normal humans and the recently Devoured.
You were contacted by Dr. Ido's research team again, this time for help capturing some Devoured creatures so they could confirm a hypothesis. While hunting the creatures, you discovered a new Devouring Earth manifesto that talked about a coming 'Unity.' It urged humankind not to fear the coming change.
With the information you gathered, Dr. Ido's team was able to confirm their hypothesis. The biological contaminant was the first part of the Devouring Earth's new mutagenic plague. Ninety percent of the city was already infected. You began a desperate search for a sample of the plague. When you found a sample, Dr. Ido used it to engineer a cure.
The Devouring Earth attacked Dr. Ido's new lab, but you arrived just in time to fend them off.
With the cure synthesized, all that remained was to distribute it throughout the city. You took the cure to each of the signature heroes of Paragon City. When you reached Numina, she had a dire warning for you. The Devouring Earth had already created a counter-agent and were about to nullify the cure!
With Numina's warning fresh in your mind, you fought the Devouring Earth and destroyed the counter-agent, forever ending the threat of the Unity Plague.
Rescue the scientists from the Devouring Earth
Briefing
A group of scientists are under attack by the Devouring Earth. They're doing critical work toward understanding and maybe even reversing the process that the creatures use to convert people into their own kind. I need you to rescue those scientists from the Devouring Earth. If we are ever to defeat the Devouring Earth forever, we cannot afford to lose these researchers.
I want every Devouring Earth creature accounted for.
Mission Objective(s)
The door looks as if it's been kicked in by a 20-pound foot
- Defeat all creatures in lab
- 5 researchers to save
You have defeated the Devouring Earth and saved all the scientists.
 |
Dr. Ido's concerns |
| When you rescued Dr. Victor Ido, he told you:
'We were trying to figure out how to reverse the process that turns people into Devouring Earth creatures. Well, we found something, but we're not yet sure what it means. We found biological agents in the blood of normal people that matched similar agents in the recently Devoured! We started taking blood samples from people all over the city, and we've been finding these biological contaminants in nearly every citizen we've tested. I'm not sure what the implications are, but I must admit I'm concerned. |
Enemies
Notable NPCs
- Researcher x4 (NPC hostage)
- Dr. Victor Ido (NPC hostage)
Debriefing
Dr. Ido and his lab crew send you their thanks, Character. They're relocating to a new lab so they can continue their research into the process that turns people into Devouring Earth creatures. These biological contaminants they found in normal human blood are very worrying. Especially since the same contaminants exist in the recently Devoured. I've asked Dr. Ido to keep me appraised of their work.
Capture a Devouring Earth creature for the scientists
Briefing
I just spoke with Dr. Victor Ido, that researcher you rescued from the Devouring Earth. He said that his lab is nearing a major breakthrough in determining the source of those strange biological contaminants they found both in normal human blood and in the recently Devoured. The problem is, they need some recently Devoured creatures in order to confirm their conclusions. Will you capture some Devouring Earth creatures for the scientists to study?
Well, it's all for science. They've located some appropriate creatures, and I've isolated them with an emergency force field. Just take the Light Rail over to the Ulysses Keys.
Mission Objective(s)
The Devouring Earth have claimed this area near Talos Island as their own
- Capture several test subjects
- Investigate area, 2 test subjects to capture
You have captured the test subjects and found a Devouring Earth manifesto.
|
Unity manifesto |
| This document speaks in rapturous terms of a great change that will come over every person in Paragon City. It refers to this coming change as 'The Unity,' and implores people not to fear their inevitable union with the Earth. |
Notable NPCs
- 2 Test Subjects (Devouring Earth Lesser Devoured)
Enemies
Debriefing
The creatures you captured have already been picked up by the lab's research team. They won't hurt them; after all, those critters used to be Paragon citizens! This manifesto you found really worries me. I don't know what to make of it, but I have a bad feeling it's going to tie into all of this somehow. Check back with me later, I'll keep you informed.
Find a sample of the Unity Plague
Briefing
I just spoke with Dr. Ido. He was able to confirm his theories after you brought him those Devoured creatures. And his conclusions are alarming. It seems the whole time we've been fighting the Devouring Earth, those creatures have had another plan in the works. It's an intelligent virus called the Unity Plague. They've been introducing it to our water for months, and they're getting ready to release the catalyst that will set it off. Dr. Ido and his team need a sample of the plague right away if they're going to combat it. Will you go find a sample of the Unity Plague?
From the looks of things, those creatures have been releasing the plague into our water on a regular schedule. There's a good chance you can find some if you head to the sewers.
Mission Objective(s)
The gutural grunts and cries of the Devouring Earth echo over the sound of running waters
- Stop lead creature, its minions
You have searched, but found no sample of the Unity Plague here.
|
A fruitless search |
| You've search this place completely. There's simply no sample of the Unity Plague here. |
Enemies
Notable NPCs
- Lesser Devoured
Debriefing
So you couldn't find a sample of the Unity Plague, eh? We may have moved too early. We'll just have to keep trying. If we don't get a sample of that plague soon, the Devouring Earth may succeed in turning all of us into monsters.
Recover a plague sample
Briefing
According to Dr. Ido, the Devouring Earth should be almost ready to release the catalyst that will set off this Unity Plague they've been infecting people with. There's no time to lose. If you can recover a plague sample, Dr. Ido may be able to engineer a cure before it's too late.
Excellent. We think that the Devouring Earth are keeping a supply of the Unity Plague in a series of caverns, deep beneath the earth. I've marked the entrance for you.
Mission Objective(s)
The interior of this cavern is filled with moist, warm air. It's a perfect environment for healthy viral growth
- Recover Unity Plague sample
|
Sample of the Unity Plague |
| You recovered this sample of the Unity Plague deep beneath the Earth. Like the Will of the Earth mutagen, this plague seems to be intelligent. You can sense its alien consciousness probing at your mind, ever hungry and waiting to be unleashed. |
Enemies
Debriefing
The city owes you for recovering this sample of the Unity Plague. I'll make sure that Dr. Ido and his team get it immediately. With any luck, they'll be able to whip up a cure in a hurry.
Save the scientists
Briefing
There's big trouble. Dr. Ido and his team are under attack. It seems the Devouring Earth found out that he was working on a cure for their Unity Plague. I need you to save those scientists. The future of Paragon City may well rest in their hands.
Thanks. Be careful out there.
Mission Objective(s)
The floor is littered with shattered glass beakers
- Defeat all creatures in lab
- 5 scientists to save
You have defeated the Devouring Earth and saved Dr. Ido's team.
Enemies
Notable NPCs
- Devoured x2
- Scientist x4 (NPC hostage)
- Dr. Ido (NPC hostage)
Debriefing
Dr. Ido sends his thanks, as well as word that they are getting close to a cure for the Unity Plague.
Distribute the cure for the Unity Plague
Briefing
Dr. Ido and his team have finished the cure; now they just need to distribute it to the city. Unfortunately, there's a complication, and that's where they need some help. Are you willing to distribute the cure to the Unity Plague? It won't be easy. In order to make a cure that could counter the Unity Plague and prevent a future infection, Dr. Ido had to reengineer the plague itself. So the cure is, well, semi-intelligent. And the Devouring Earth can detect it. So there's a very good chance they'll be trying to stop you.
Each of the city's signature heroes is waiting for you to deliver a portion of the cure. They'll use their network of heroes to get the cure out quickly.
|
The Unity cure |
| These vials contain the cure to the Unity Plague. As with the plague itself, you can feel the collective consciousness of the organic compound you hold in your hand. But the cure is neither hungry nor malicious. It knows it has a job to do, and it's eager to get to it. |
Take Unity cure to Ms. Liberty
Mission Objective(s)

Briefing
I have been watching your progress from the astral realm, Character, and you have done very well. Now, however, I must deliver unto you a dire warning. The despicable Devouring Earth have already begun work on a counter-agent to the cure you have delivered. Go now and speak with the one who sent you. You have spared the city for now, but soon you will be needed once more.
Debriefing
You did it! Normally I'd say you should take some time out and celebrate, but Numina's warning changes everything. If the Devouring Earth really are working on a counter-agent to the cure you delivered, we may have to move fast!
Destroy the Devouring Earth's counter-agent
Briefing
I spoke with Dr. Ido about Numina's warning. He agrees that if the Devouring Earth could develop a counter-agent quickly, they might be able to prevent the cure you distributed from taking effect. The Unity Plague may still be upon us! In order to distribute the counter-agent quickly enough, the Devouring Earth would have to introduce it to the water supply near the purification system. Will you go to the sewers and destroy the Devouring Earth's counter-agents?
You are a true champion of this city. I know you won't let us down.
Mission Objective(s)
The howls and cries of the Devouring Earth fill the air it looks like you're in the right place

Debriefing
The threat of the Unity Plague is over! You did it! The whole city owes you. With the cure in place, we should be able to reduce the threat of any similar viruses in the future. The city government is also working with FEMA to stockpile stores of the cure in case the Devouring Earth try this trick in another city. Dr. Ido tells me that the information you helped him gather has taught him a lot about the process that turns humans into Devouring Earth monsters. Someday, he hopes, they'll even be able to reverse it!
